I come from an art background and have acquired a versatile skill-set. After immersing myself in a fast-paced environment as a graphic designer in London, I have a keen eye for detail and colour. I started diving at the age of 14 and prior to a Masters in Wildlife Filmmaking gained several years experience as an underwater camera operator in remote locations around the world.

I have spent over 1000hrs underwater filming all kinds of wildlife from humpback whales to great white sharks. During this time, I have been responsible for planning, filming and editing shoots on Red, drones and numerous other camera systems. My work has been featured by Lonely Planet, Wanderlust and the BBC.

Description:Eleven-year-old Sam is always being told not to dwell on the nuclear power plant they’re building next door, but in his mind there’s lots to think about. Hinkley Point C will be Britain’s largest nuclear plant, and it’s only 2 miles away.

Drifting between Sam’s daily reality and his dreams and memories, we experience Sam’s universe from within. A film about the tricky passage from innocence to knowing, the dilemma of whether to speak up or shut up, and the quest to be understood.

Description:I was invited to shoot this underwater sequence of The Queen's Baton Relay in Seychelles. The clip was first aired on the 28th of February 2014 on BBC One & BBC News.
